ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

seconds and lead the Gold Nuggets to the team championship, their first in the regular
season since 2008. Pieri ran 8,000 meters in 28:00.55 to place third and lead the
XU men to the team championship.
"That was a difficult course we ran on — the steepest
hills we've faced since I've been at Xavier," seventh-year coach Joseph Moses
said. "But in spite of the tough conditions, Zahri and Matt still ran well."
Both XU teams will compete next in the GCAC Championships
at Clinton, Miss., on Oct. 22. Both the Gold Nuggets and Gold Rush are five-time
defending team champions, and Pieri is a defending individual champion.
